MCNEY, OFHARDING, PENNSYLVANIA STEAM AND HOT WATER GENERATOR ApplicationfiledSeptember 12, 1932. Serial No. 632,844.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in liquidheaters and vaporiZers, and more particularly to a heater of theelectrical type.

The principal object of this invention is to provide a heater forboilers and the lilie wherein an electrical element is involved andwherein the heater is in the form ot a unit capable of being easilyinserted into and removed with respect to a boil-er.

Other objects and advantages prevail and will be observed from the.following speciii cation;

In the drawings Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view through aboiler showing the heating unit installed therein.

Fig. 2 represents a horizontal sectional view on line 2 2 oit Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 represents a bottom plan view of' the boiler.

yF ig. 4 represents a vertical sectionaly view through the heating unit.

Fig. 5 represents a bottom plan view of the heating unit.

Fig. 6 represents a cross sectional view ktaken substantially on line6-6 ot' Fig. 4.

Referring to the drawings wherein lit-A numerals designate like parts,it can be seen that numeral 5 represents the boiler provided with thehead 6 and the bottom 7. This boiler is mounted on suitable legs S andhas the inlet pipe 9 and outlet pipe 10 in the usual manner.

Tn carrying out the present invention the bottom plate 7 is providedwith a circular opening therein for receiving the barrel 11 of theheating unit generally referred to by numeral 12.

This barrel 11 at its lower end is fixed to the closure plate 13 whichhas openings 14 therein ttor receiving bolts 15. These bolts 15 aredisposed thru openings in the bottom plate 7 surrounding theaforementioned opening therein and are equipped with nuts 1G so that theplate 13 can be clamped against the bot-tom of the plate 7 in a snugmanner, and it desired, suitable packing material can be interposedbetween the plate 13 and the plate 7.

In the barrel 11 in spaced relation with respect to the plate 13is apartition 17 having openings therein corresponding to the shape of thetubes 18 and 19. These tubes 18 are of the flat type whereas the tubes19 are of the cylindrical type. These tubes 18 and 19 are alternatelyplaced in a circular arrangement and extend vertically within the barrel11, the lower ends extending through the openings in the lower plate 17,while the up- ;er ends extend through corresponding openings in the top2O of' the barre-l.

The barrel 11 is provided with openings 21 therein between the plate 13and the partition 17 so that water can enter the barrel from theinterior ot the boiler 5 and pass upwardly through the tubes 1S and 19to discharge through the upper end of the unit 12.

Numeral 22 represents a die-electric conduit extending upwa diy throughthe plate 13 to meet the plate or partition 17 and this merges at itslower end in a shell 23 receiving the electrical connector 24. Numeral25 represents electrical conductor wires leading to the connector 24. luconnection with the electrical connector 24 is an electrical heatingelement 2G which extends upwardly and terminates within the shell orbarrel l1. (See Fig. 4)

lVhile the foregoing' specification sets forth the invention in specificterms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size,and materials may be resorted to witlr out departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim as new is In a boiler,a heat-ing device comprising a barrel having one end closed and adaptedfor attachment to the boiler, the opposite end o'l the barrel beingclosed, a plurality of water tubes extending longitudinally in thebarrel, a partition across the interior of the barrel in cl'ose spacedrelation to the attaching end ot the barrel deiining a water receivingchamber and a heating chamber, said barrel being provided with anopening at the water receiving chamber, said water tubes opening' attheir ends through the said partition and second mentioned end of thebarrel, and a heating element extending longitudinally in the barrel atsubstantially -the longitudinal axial portion thereotl and in respect towhich the tubes are radially disposed.
